Pittsburgh South Park Wedding Photography | Kateri and Mark

November 18, 2009

We have had just a gorgeous November so far…and it was especially so on Kateri and Mark’s wedding day. From the moment I first saw Kateri, she had the biggest smile on her face. The same goes for Mark, too. They are so in love with each other, and it shows in their photos.

As an aside, I must admit that I wanted to hug and kiss them both for allotting a large amount of time for photos. While my style is more “photojournalistic,” I can’t stress enough the importance of giving yourself the right amount of time to take some candid portraits. The last thing you want to do is rush through them…instead, give yourself time to relax and just enjoy the first moments of being married!

Everything was located around Pittsburgh’s South Park area, which made it nice for traveling! The ceremony was held at St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church, and the reception was held at the Garden Room in South Park. A big congratulations to Kateri and Mark.

By the way, Jay totally ROCKED the camera…love this capture.

Another couple by Jay…

Kateri’s mother made all of the girls’ shawls…

Jay captured this as I was setting up another shot.

The light was purrfect…(and it was so warm!)

Y’all are too cute.

Oooh..I loved Kateri’s hair-do…very lovely.

A fave…

No one actually caught the garter…so this dude needed some encouragement when it fell to him to claim it.

Ben -What a beautiful set of pictures that I’m sure will be enjoyed and relished by many for years to come.

C Ed Zucker -These photos certainly reflect an extraordinary knack for recognizing the many moments that capture the true spirit of the overall event. And done with such a smooth and unobtrusive skill that nobody noticed how very busy you obviously were.

Janet Zucker -I loved all the pictures of Kateri’s and Mark’s wedding.

Lisa-Mary, great set– I LOVE the backlit one of all the girls in their shawls, the one of the brides hair, the almost kiss with the oof leaves framing it and the shot of the two of them with ya’ll in the comment. The processing is lovely as well– very nice.
